Time almost up for Mom... Prayers needed

Anyone know if the airlines do some kind of 'emergency/grieving/family death' kind of discount rate?

They still do bereavement fares but they're only like a 10% discount (not like the half price or even free-on-stanby that they used to do). Buying tickets early through a site like hotwire is probably your best bet. Downside is you don't know exactly when you want to fly so you'll need to fly out asap and be prepared to stay out there for a while.

My experience as well. I had to catch a last minute flight from FL to CO for my grandfather a few years ago and still paid around $800. Glad I did though.

Kayak can give you price prediction info and flexible searches.

My oldest brother called me yesterday stating that Mom went to the ER. She's now in ICU with a whole list of stuff, sounds like her heart's giving up and she's going septic with infections everywhere. Any one of her ailments can be life-threatening, and all them up and they're not giving her very long.

Mom doesn't want to live on any mechanical devices, has lived a good long life and is really looking forward to her Home in Heaven to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

My brothers, Dad and I now get to decide what to do next...

And I need to find the most economical way to get back to NY state.

Anyone know if the airlines do some kind of 'emergency/grieving/family death' kind of discount rate?

Thx for reading and praying/thoughts...

Jet blue can have you in the tri-state area by 6 tomorrow. Flying out tomorrow on united staying till saturday, after thanksgiving is $551 per . The down side of any flight is Holiday time.

As for bereavement flights Don't bother. They cost as much if not more, than getting a flight by phone (not on line).
Also DO NOT use hotwire or other on line discount place. We did it once and never again. You get bumped first, seats changed (no guarantee seats) no matter what they say AND if there's an issue. The airlines will tell you, talk to hotwire.

With that said. prayers and positive thoughts for you and your family.
